Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING MY 2007 SAAB 93 AERO. THERE MUST HAVE BEEN SOMETHING FAULTY WITH THE WIRING OF MY SEAT WARMER. IT HAD GAVE ME A SLIGHT BURN ON MY LEFT BOTTOM/LEG AREA. GOOD THING I TURNED IT OFF IN TIME BECAUSE I ALSO STARTED SMELLING AS IF AN ELECTRICAL FIRE HAD BEEN STARTING. IT SMELT OF BURNED LEATHER AND POSSIBLY OTHER COMPONENTS. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP THERE WHERE UNWILLING TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE FOR NO COST BUT IN MY OPINION THAT SHOULD BE THE LEAST OF THERE WORRIES. THIS TO ME IS A LIABILITY ISSUE AND A POSSIBLE FIRE HAZARD. *TR
